  • STABLE RUNNERS BOTH WEAK IN THE MARKET

    AMY runs two today, Turbo Tiger at Beverley (2.10pm) and Alto Volante at Kempton (8pm) and both are weak in the market at around 4/1 and 20/1 respectively. The former showed promise at Wolverhampton twelve days ago when he made his debut, finishing fifth, beaten four lengths.  Connor Beasley rode him that day and he… Read more »

  • DREAMS OF THUNDER BACK AFTER A BREAK

    DREAMS OF  THUNDER runs in the 5.42 at Haydock after a two month break and has a good chance of following up his win and second in just two starts for Amy. Only six go to post in the 6f handicap and Barry McHugh does the steering.  It’s a tight little contest with Zim Baby and… Read more »

  • TWILIGHT STEEL COULD BE APPROPRIATE WINNER FOR SIRE

    TWILIGHT STEEL is Amy’s only runner today, when contesting the 1.40 at Yarmouth and the daughter of Twilight Son would be an appropriate winner, the day after Solario Racing saw the sire at Cheveley Park Stud. The race is an apprentice maiden handicap over 6f (there can’t be many of those in the racing calendar)… Read more »

  • THE COVEX KID FAVOURITE BIDDING FOR FIFTH WIN!

    THE COVEX KID has been a revelation since moving to Southgate Stables earlier this year, having won four races and gone up 29lbs in the handicap and he goes for win number five when lining up as likely favourite at Brighton tomorrow in the course’s major race of the day, a mile handicap, due off… Read more »

  • TWILIGHT BAY A BIG DRIFTER AT CHELMSFORD

    TWILIGHT BAY is not only drawn wide at Chelmsford tonight (8.10pm) but she is a big market drifter, out to 18/1. The filly disappointed last time at Leicester when she was very quiet and not right in herself.  Today is a fact-finding mission as she sports first-time cheekpieces.  The filly did work well at the… Read more »

  • AUROPHOBIA HAS TO IMPROVE HUGELY

    AUROPHOBIA is the yard’s only runner today when lining up for the second race at Windsor (5.50pm), a 6f maiden fillies’ stakes and the 40/1 price about the filly probably tells you she’s up against it. The 2yo daughter of Galileo Gold was last of eight on Lingfield’s all-weather 19 days ago and although she’s… Read more »

  • WOODY STEPPING BACK UP TO SEVEN FURLONGS

    DANCINGINTHEWOODS steps up to 7f for the first time since he ran over the trip at Doncaster in the spring of last year, when one of seven runners in the 0-85 handicap at Newmarket this evening. Both his last two jockeys have felt an increase in trip would help and the 5yo son of Garswood,… Read more »

  • TARITINO WINS FROM PILLAR TO POST AT REDCAR!

The 2yo was having just his second outing, having been sixth at Lingfield on the all-weather when he showed… Read more »

  • SOLARIO STRING WORKS WELL ON CAMBRIDGE ROAD GALLOPS

    YESTERDAY saw all four Solario Racing horses working on the Cambridge Road all-weather gallops in front of many owners who made a reasonably early start for second lot. It was three weeks to the day since Dancinginthewoods, Sharp Distinction and Twilight Bay joined Taritino at Amy Murphy’s Southgate Stables on the Hamilton Road and owners… Read more »
